Introduction

Welcome to the Macmillan Academy Governors’ page.

We are currently a Board of Governors comprising 8 members. Each of us has a wide range of business and community interest as befits an academy of 1500 students drawn from across the Middlesbrough area.

We use our skills, knowledge and experience to fulfil the 5 core functions of governance, which are:

To ensure clarity of vision, ethos and direction

To hold the executive accountable for standards against benchmarks

To ensure solvency and probity

To ensure leadership complies with statutory regulations

To engage with stakeholders

As well as formal half termly meetings regularly reporting on established practice, we spend time in the academy engaging with students and staff. The full Board of Governors’ meetings follow a full agenda which allows us, on your behalf, to ensure the above takes place and to focus on specific areas such as progress in teaching, learning and assessment, whole education, safeguarding, finance and staffing matters. Our AGM is incorporated into the September meeting.
